My son aged 6 nearly 7 has always struggled with spelling. We didn't bother too much with them as I thought it was far too young. This year, I thought we'd make the effort, hoping that his brain is that more developed and perhaps would learn quicker.
This weeks spelling list consisted of ten, I'd say quite hard to learn words. Please tell me what do you think? Are these hard? Is it just me?
First of all we concentrated on the first 3 words, After, About and Again. We spent an hour on these three alone writing them out time and time again. Still, he doesn't know them. He'll remember them for a while, like ten seconds after first writing them, then it just completely vanishes from his head.
Am I wasting our time? He will never, ever know the whole list by Friday.
